Contrary to popular belief, women can be sex addicts, too. In fact, up to 12 percent of people seeking treatment for this addiction are women (not to mention the ones who aren’t reported). Surprised? This is something that’s rarely talked about, and rarely taken seriously. “Do sex addicts really exist?” is something I hear quite ...
If you have already seen counsellors and sex therapists galore, it may be time to take the next step in your sexual healing (although I don’t think it’s what Marvin Gaye had in mind). While it’s still a rare undertaking for both genders, having a surrogate sex partner has always been considered male territory. Until ...
Dear Madame X, When my boyfriend and I have sex it stings when he is inside me, but otherwise it feels normal. Afterwards I notice blood when I go to the bathroom, but only the first time I wipe. Could his penis be damaging me? Am I allergic to him? What could be going ...
The company that dupes insecure men into giving up their life savings to have better erections and “longer lasting sex” is being taken to court. This is not the first time that the Advanced Medical Institute (AMI) in Australia has been taken to court and I doubt it will be the last. This time the ...
Dear Madame X, When I masturbate I keep fantasizing about raping men. I told my friend and she says I was probably abused in my past. I had a rough childhood but I’m pretty sure I would remember something like that. Sometimes I tell guys about it and they ask me to get rough, but ...
Dear Madame X, In my teens I was a prostitute. It was a very dark time in my life, filled with a lot of pain. Eventually I got clean and off the streets. Now I am able to hold down a proper job and I have met a wonderful man. He knows nothing about my ...
Dear Madame X, My girlfriend has a very narrow vagina and I often hurt her during sex. For some reason she will not tell me when she is hurting and silently endures it. I am very unhappy with this, but do not know what to do either about her silence or about hurting her in ...
Dear Madame X, I am a man who fakes orgasms. Lately I have found it very difficult to come with my wife. I get hard enough to get inside of her, but then it just dies. I have to pretend I’ve orgasmed because otherwise it would be devastating for her. At first it was only ...
Essentially, it’s all about having fun while staying safe. So to start off this column I am going to write about probably one of the most common complaints from men and women alike; premature ejaculation. Dear Madame X, I have a seriously embarrassing problem and I’m not sure who to talk to, and I definitely can’t ...
